That question is a rhetoric one, isn't it?
No you don't need any temple.

No, it's not a rhetorical question. It wasn't even expressed as a rhetorical question (at least if English is your first language). And thanks. Let's see if EB 2 will be similar. I was almost sure EB didn't need the temple because of the double MIC system, but there are so many changes for EB 2, I'm sure the barracks system is one of them.

Since EB wants to be realistic and historical correct why would you need a temple? You can't build more then one temple because it would probably unbalance the game as long as temples give important public order bonuses. But I think there's no doubt that a city would have temples for many important gods. It would be unrealistic to have it the way it is in vanilla.

(No English is not my first language, most times I just hope that the people understand the meaning of what I write. They often enough don't when I speak german...)

Temples in EB do not represent all religious structures in the town, but rather a city adopting and sponsoring the cult of a patron-deity.

That said: the current set-up is a relic of vanilla R:TW. I am certain it will be completely different in EB2.

In addition, it would be nigh-impossible to represent nearly all buildings in a city, considering the building limitations in the engine. Also, that sort of 'realism' would be more of a gameplay hindrance rather than an improvement.

The Carthies are going through substantial changes in EB2.
Baal has been satisfied by their new trait system.

I also find elite liby-phoenician and sacred band to be redundant, why would i ever bother recruiting a sacred band when i got an ap monster one MIC level before?

Also, The lorica Scutarii are so weak, how are they losing to medium iberian spearmen and levy skirmishers?
